A review by annoyedhumanoid
README.txt: a Memoir by Chelsea Manning

dark informative reflective medium-paced

4.75

intensely readable but i would have liked more. fuck the DOD for the redactions. the craziest part is that they PUT HER BACK IN JAIL for another year, not mentioned in the book. the injustice she faced/faces is so flagrant you almost forget the US has a constitution meant to protect against it
